What kind of paint/brand do you use? How was the process to add it on? That makes D'Lo look 10x better. I used Apple Barrel 20504 black and taped off the area with a small strip of masking tape, then applied VERY thin layers of paint until the look was completed. Sealed it with a thin layer of MATTE finish mod podge spray then gave it a few hours to take complete effect before popping the hands back in.

Have you used this technique on other figures you have?

TheHitmanKidSure have. I've used it on some BCA customs and the mattel Alister Black that came without wrist tape. Here is an elbow pad I painted on a BCA figure using a similar method, minus the spray type mod podge because it doesn't work well on softer plastics. It leaves them sticky, so I used the paint on kind. That also works on Mattel figures so no need to buy the spray, just don't glob it on.

Trying this new I probably would glob it on lol Good job on The Patriot! Now you making me want to ask Steve if he's signed to a deal for Mattel lol (I'm not actually one of those guys)

Elite Yoshihiro Takayama. Absolutely love the Emperor of Pro Wrestling and knew I needed to have a figure of him. Don’t think I’ve seen one made before either. Still quite new to customising but I think this is my best one I’ve made so far. Used a Jakks Tajiri head (sculpted hair), Demolition Ax body & left hand, Kane arms, Kane lower legs and Miz boots. Reference pic: Scale comparison w Ultimo Dragon (Takayama 6’5, Ultimo 5’8: Speaking of Ultimo, I got him off eBay. Jakks Ultimo head on a Sin Cara body with random boots. I’ve since added Garza Jr arms and begun painting the attire I wanted. Still a work in progress. And a pretty simple Rod Strong basic to Elite conversion. Still annoyed we never got the Takeover Elite, and wasn’t an Undisputed Era fan so didn’t want him in that gear. Used a basic Roddy head, Daniel Bryan body, Stone Cold arms, lower legs & knee pads and painted his logos. He doesn’t have white wrist tape and basic lower legs anymore it’s just the only picture I had of the back of the figure on hand lol. Any advice or thoughts appreciated.

I've been wanting to do this fixup for ages, ever since the Elite 94 Edge came out, but I didn't want to buy a whole ass new Elite just to do it. Came across the remnants of Basic 138 today strewn about a clearance shelf but not tagged. Checked the price, and they came up at $5.99, so that was an easy buy. I love how reliable some of these late era Basics are with the easy pop heads.

You’re right 100%, those ultimate heads are crap. Still can’t believe they rereleased them.

cuppacoffeeyeaaah love your Undertaker fixups. I plan to do this with the legends Undertaker. Give him the laceless boots and MNW head.

Swapped the Monday Night War Undertaker Head on to the Ultimate Edition and the boots on to the Greatest Hits Undertaker. has anyone fixed up that ministry undertaker head with a full goatee? i know he didn't have a full one in that era, but that likeness is pretty damn good and even though the hair is a little too wavy for most taker eras, it could be a solid head to use for other fixups (its not one i have any particular interest in doing, just curious if anyones done it/shown it)

Elite Toshiaki Kawada. Full Honky Tonk Man body, Daniel Bryan boots and a jakks Finlay head (with painted hair and missing teeth) that I got in a random lot of loose heads from eBay. It’s a little cartoony but I think it works well for an angry mid-match gritted teeth Kawada look. Ref:
